Nov. 10th, 9PM EST. Mohammed Abadul-Raouf Qudwa Arafat Al-Husseini, more popularly known as Yassir Arafat, left this Earthly realm due to complications from liver and kidney failure. Upon arrival in Heaven, Arafat was somewhat shaken to discover St.Peter, the Jewish convert that preached the teachings of Christ, awaiting him at a large gated structure. Arafat was overheard muttering "Allah?" before realizing all those people the Fatah guerrilla movement blew up really were Gods children.

Further dissappointment came to Arafat when St.Peter kindly informed him the proper translation was "77 ripe olives", not virgins. At this time Arafat could not be reached for comment.

While he was a bad guy, you shouldn't mock the recently deceased. Wait a week or two.

kingbee - yeah, I've heard more than a few "overly-generous" quotes about his contributions to the world from other countries. There is a difference between these countries showing respect and kissing a thugs ass.

Right now France is in the mode that anything that is in opposition to the American imperials is OK, whatever that means. Its lucky we weren't thinking that way in 1944 and bypassed France.

My personal belief is that Arafat has been dead since they flew him from Palestine and that it was kept under wraps until the successorship could be determined.
